Nothing says bad judgement like trying to prove a superstition true…

In the heart of Cupid, Texas, where love and whimsy entwine, Taylor Braxton and her daring friends embark on a playful quest to test the age-old Cupid superstition on Valentine’s Day. Fueled by laughter and a few bottles of wine, Taylor sheds inhibitions and embraces the daring notion that love might just be an arrow away.

Sheriff Ryan Jones, accustomed to quirky calls in the peculiar town of Cupid, never anticipates a midnight encounter with the enchanting Taylor Braxton—stripped of inhibitions and challenging fate in the glow of the moonlit fountain. What transpires in that magical moment sparks a question that echoes through the night: Can the Cupid superstition weave its charm, guiding Taylor and Ryan to rekindle a flame and risk love once more? Or will a solemn promise stand as an impenetrable shield against the arrows of Cupid?

5.0 out of 5 stars The perfect books to fall asleep with or cuddle up with on a day when you need a laugh and a hug and no one's volunteering...

What a fun, sassy, cleverly-written series! Halfway through the first book (which was offered for free as a sample), I paused to buy the rest of the books in the series. I knew, they would all be worth every penny! These are just the antidote to the often disturbing romance books trending alpha males, sex and violence. The first book is so well written, you can easily imagine being there, living with these people. The romance is all the more believable because McDaniel has taken the time to craft believable characters with amazing wit, without belaboring how "hot" or "desirable" the main characters are. I just LOVE finding a great author who is still offering great romance at an affordable price. The perfect books to fall asleep with or cuddle up with on a day when you need a laugh and a hug and no one's volunteering. I can enthusiastically recommend this series to my daughter - and that, my friend, is the highest praise I can give an author.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sweet romance
Reviewed in the United States on June 11, 2017

This story started off so funny! Taylor, Megan, and Kelsey hadn't seen each other in years so they were celebrating with lots of wine. In their drunken state, they decided to test the town superstition by doing the Cupid dance around the town statue. Apparently, by dancing naked around the statue, it would help them find their true love. While Taylor didn't want anything to do with men ever again, after finding her ex in bed with another woman, she went along with her friends' plan. They were having a great time until the sheriff came along. Megan and Kelsey ran off (without clothes) but Taylor was caught.

I really liked this cute story with its incredible characters. Ryan was a great guy, who had had a crush on Taylor in their youth, and hoped he would now have a chance to act on his feeling for her. But while Taylor was also interested in Ryan, she had decided that all lawmen were cheaters, like her ex who was a lawman. On top of that, Ryan had dated her best friend, Kelsey, in high school, so she thought she shouldn't date her friend's ex. Taylor and Ryan definitely have chemistry but will they be able to overcome the issues keeping them apart?

This sweet romance is not only funny but has some dramatic and sexy moments, too. It's a great read.

What happens when old friends from high school all move back to the home town and start reminiscing? They drink too much wine and decide to tempt fate by dancing naked around the cupid fountain at midnight. The story goes, if you do this, you will find your true love.

Ryan is now the sheriff, but dated Kelsie in high school. He drives up to the fountain while Kelsie, Taylor and Meghan are dancing around. Kelsie and Meghan run and get away, but Taylor is caught.

Ryan pretends to arrest her and picks up all the clothes, purses and cell phones of the three gals. Then he proceeds to take her home. He starts finding reasons to see Taylor and soon they are finding they want to be together more and more. Trouble is Taylor doesn't want to hurt Kelsie by dating an ex boyfriend and she doesn't know why they broke up and why Kelsie seems to hate Ryan still.

A cute story with some good chuckles and head shaking as you wonder why these people don't just ask questions and talk.

Taylor and two friends follow through on the legend of the statue of Cupid in the town square. If you dance around the statue naked, you will meet your true love and marry before one year has passed.

When the sheriff drives up, Taylor is the only naked woman who is captured. They have known one another since high school and he is a kind man. He does not arrest her, he helps her pick up the clothing and purses of her two friends, he wraps her in a blanket and drives her home.

Ryan, dated one of her best friends in high school. Taylor is getting over a cheating fiancee. They are both attracted to one another and eventually one thing leads to another.

This book did not do it for me.

Ryan was not completely honest with Taylor Taylor was not honest with her friends. I have lived in small town Texas, and I must say, keeping any kind of large secrets has about the same chance as everyone giving up football in Texas.

The entire thing seems to move very quickly. She keeps saying they can't do this and then they do this.

I wanted to like this book a ton.

I understood the characters. Ms McDaniel develops them quite well. All the back stories are well done. But, basically I simply did not care much about anyone.

I am sure it is just me, but it just didn't enchant me.

5.0 out of 5 stars That Cupid Knows His Business!

Betrayed by her cheating police officer fiance, Taylor returns to her hometown of Cupid, Texas to find her BFF's ready to commiserate with her. Thus, the Valentine's Day night out with the girls began. And, being from Cupid, Taylor's drunken solution to their spinsterhood is a traditional naked dance around the Cupid fountain at midnight to find their one true love. Of course, it's only fair that the one who initiated the deed should be the one to be caught by Sheriff Ryan Jones. Her friends get away, and she gets a ride home, naked in the back seat of his cruiser. Thus, the romance begins. But Ryan tells Taylor a lie that will come back to bite him. And Taylor complicates the situation by trying to keep their relationship a secret from her friends. So the romance volcano erupts when Taylor discovers Ryan's dishonesty, and the scorching lava of guilt and distrust raze the blossoming love affair.

This book is a fun read interspersed with some sober moments. I was surprised at Kelsey's role in the outcome. I am looking forward to the next Cupid, Texas installment coming soon.

You know what's going to happen when a woman or three get drunk and decide to dance and chant around a Cupid statue. They're going to get caught in their birthday suit. Talk about a meet-cute or a meet-again-cute (That doesn't sound right). Add a little light blackmail, a lie or two, and undeniable attraction and you have a captivating story you can't stop reading.

I need to read the next few books in this series to discover how Meghan, and Kelsey's stories unfold.

This story took me home again. While I live in Canada, I grew up in a small town similar to Cupid, Texas. The story brought back memories of high school and some of the stupid things we did as teenagers.
This story also has some comedy which will make you laugh, and some sad parts.
This is a well written romance that doesn't follow the usual formula.
Taylor and Ryan work their way from acquaintance to friends to lovers. What c comes next, well you need to read this book to find out.
I picked up this book through a free book service because the title caught my eye. I usually read paranormal and fantasy. This author has me wanting to read the rest of the series.
